    Clever,

     

    not a question but I did want to thank you for your contributions to the community. Your post one META builds, drop rates and this forum help to document many of the unwritten logic in the game. Thank you sir and please keep up the good work!

    in the above post to mentioned to know how the arena works. I have long suspected matches are made baised on built stats.

    At the beginning of every match, there is a clear favorite to win. That's dependent on the match up - certain builds just beat others more easily, regardless of how strong either build is. That assumes perfect play by both players - then sometimes an expected loser can win to due RNG rolls. And of course very few actually play perfectly, so sometimes an expected loser can still win if he outplays (read as other person misplays) the other.

    Are you inferring that matches are determined other than random? Regardless, would you care to share any wisdom with us on how the arena works?

    Not sure what you mean by this. You get matched with who you end up getting matched with. It's determined by the above (build styles) and whether the pilot is good/bad. So it's random in the sense you don't know who you will fight (unless you scout really hard and manipulate with the support of multiple accounts) - but for very vast majority of players, it's pretty random, just based on Rank and AP at time of search.

    @CleverName what is your opinion on me? am i annoying or downright boisterous and funny.

    Don't really have a developed opinion. Can't really say honestly.

    Clevername, being a walmart employee, could you recommend us any hints or tips at the best methods of getting our own chance at a prestigious career at Walmart?

    Well, firstly you must hate Target with a PASSION. Secondly, you must be willing to work long hours with acceptance that you're underpaid. Lastly, it helps if you already know a VIP Manager at Walmart, just get them to refer you xD

    hunting you? wdym by that?

    At competitive top ranks (top 50 players or so) - it's expected that you get hunted (ie. people use their main or alt accounts to create counter builds intentionally made to beat you). The purpose of hunting is to try to knock a player's/clan's AP down, so they get a worse medal / don't get a medal. 

    Basically every week, Thursday/Friday are the main days where you see hunting, as it's approaching season-end.

    I think if you log out, there should be option for Forgot Password, which should let you reset it, assuming you have the original email linked to account.

    I appreciate you moving the old META to this thread and for your constant help with the META thread.

    I've been wondering something recently.  When people start their stuff with META, it seems like they have an attitude of "I must get every item and have exactly that META mech in order to achieve rank 1."  I know this is probably not realistic, but would you be willing to comment?

    I had countered (not the game, but in conversation) this point with pointing out that it's more a philosophy and about the tactics (most effective TACTICS available) than about making an exact copy of those mechs.  Also, that it is more a reflection as to what is top dog in the game.  Would you be willing to comment on whether I'm thinking about the META properly?

    Yup, I’d agree with that. Majority of players can’t make exact meta builds, but it can be useful as a reference point. Obviously the closer you can replicate a meta build, the likely stronger you’ll be. 

    Now some meta builds really do need quite a few items in unison, so if someone is missing a good amount of items, meta builds can’t be replicated too easily, hence why I’m making a former meta build thread as that will overtime have a higher variety of builds, some which will be more f2p/smaller inventory friendly.

    I see you playing a double drainer double brightroar build, any reason you are playing dual brightroar and not something more like this:

    Heat - Windigo hugger is better. Plus that build is weak to energy, that's why you need basalt polisher.

    Physical - It's not bad, but it's low hp with way too much backfire to be meta imo.

    This post confirm me you don't need skill/strategy to play this game, you just need good items to compete in higher rank.

    I think the LP exploit proved that even with maxed inventories, bad players will still be bad lol

    I beleive you are missing many viable builds, such as LG's windigo hugger, Ivar's build and some others.

    Yes, this is missing any non current meta build atm. When new items come out, I'll keep the old metas in here.

    Why would you use swoop over firefly or any other heat damage drones though? Swoop is only really meant for boilers and huggers, putting it on damage mechs is kind of pointless because of its low damage, even though you would overheat opponents a lot faster, but you have to sacrifice more weight to put energy modules on.

    Swoop is super low weight, spits out 117 heat damage per hit, easily best heat drone in game hands down for almost every single heat build

    In this topic, I’ll post what I believed to be some of the best of the best OLDER meta/top-tier builds. The point of this topic is to have a place to put all former meta builds, as many of them will be helpful for the vast majority of players (to use as a reference point and something they can build into over time).

    META = Most Effective Tactics Available (ie. what's the best build in game to help you climb the ladder in arena). Note this isn’t a build help thread. If you need build help, please go there. 

    If you want to view the current meta builds, please visit it here: Current Meta Builds.

    I will maintain this thread for as long as I have the motivation 🙂

    just curious, when you update the meta builds in this best current meta builds, what happen to the previous meta?

    Maybe you should have a thread of former meta since new parts change often the layout of the game. Maybe players with limited parts can look after and help them to do some not having enough to make current. Maybe here all is there but just wondering if you have something already in place that I do not know in this new forum. 🤔

    Yeah that's a really good idea and something I actually thought about a few times before deleting the old builds.

    After another thought, I think you're right. I'll go ahead and make a thread on "former meta builds" or something similar which will basically be a place where we can dump prior meta builds (that would still be good in future, although not "meta")

    Clever,

     

    sorry if this a repeat but how many inventory slots do you have?

     

    also does the cost go up for more slots or is the price always 125 tokens for five slots?

    1000, price always goes up by +5 tokens.

    Clevername. Thanks for sharing the stats sir! 
     

    do you see a place for it in your builds?

    The semi energy free energy build does well with it. Should be in my replays if you want to check it out. Basically brightroar, lightning cutter, 2x this item, mpv

    I think 2 resist drainers is unnecessary - 1 really is the max. With 2, you waste 2 hits shooting them off (versus doing heat damage) and you lose hp twice. I think only having 1 is probably best build in game atm; I’m still figuring out whether the drainer version is better than non drainer version, but I’m leaning yes.
